I propose to take Questions Nos. 579 and 580 together.

Sport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the development and promotion of sport, increasing participation at all levels and raising standards, including the allocation of funding across its various programmes. Sport Ireland channels funding through its network of Local Sports Partnerships, recognised National Governing Bodies of Sport and other relevant sporting organisations.

I have referred the Deputy's Questions to Sport Ireland for direct reply regarding the funding it provides for grassroots sport. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.

In relation to the Sports Capital Programme, which is administered by my Department, details of all allocations, on a county by county basis, are available on my Department’s website at .
